What numbers are you refering too? Are these teeth counts? The only difference I have ever herd about are internal and external. Some Flywheels differ in shape but that is bacause of clutch setup.

Are they both the same size width wise?

Well if you need to ise the 153 plate then you need to use the 2.8L starter from the jeep.
